Saeco Odea Giro - one year later.

We took a long while researching what machine to buy and was told by the espresso zealots that if you want authentic shots you have to work for them... Meaning that you need to grind separately, hand press the puck into the porta-filter and pull the...

Defective Product, Irresponsible Company

This espresso maker was a nice machine when it worked. In two years, it required five major repairs (I stopped throwing away the packing materials after the first three breakdowns. The only people who really liked this machine were the folks at UPS)....

So easy to use... Love it!!!

I had a semi automatic and it was such a mess to use it. coffee grounds everywhere, wait to make a second shot, dump grounds after... If it is a hassle to use, I get tired of the product easily. This one is great. Load beans in the hopper, water...

great machine

This coffee maker is great as you have a choice of how strong you want your espresso or a cup of "American coffee". I don't buy any fancy coffee beans, Brossard coffee beans from Costco and it produces a rich crema every time. Cleaning it is a cinch....

Still kicking a$$ after 6 months

 

Still kicking a$$ after 6 months

It was easily going to be 10 times more money than we had ever considered spending on a coffee machine before. We did our research, read reviews, etc. This seemed like the best bet, except for all of these people who say it broke right away, and Saeco...

Love Machine 1 full year of use

I purchased this last Christmas. Works fine- no issues. Great tasting coffee/ espresso. We miss the machine when we go away for any period of time! If you are a pro coffee drinker you may want the bigger machines. If you are on a budget and want a...

Made awesome coffee for 2 months, then needed service

I agree this coffee maker does an excellent job when it works; Unfortunately about 2 months after purchasing, it clogged itself. After numberous calls to Saeco (and getting hung up/transfered to vmail) I finally got a very helpful live person. She sent...

Great for 2 months, no good after that

For the fist 60 days or so this espresso maker was awesome. Then it started to display the red light indicating something is wrong with the machine almost every time I tried to brew a cup of coffee. This has continued for 2 months now with no end in...

Product Specifications

Enjoyment made easy. The Saeco Odea Giro offers design created by BMW Group DesignworksUSA to please all coffee epicures who prefer a sovereign style. Soft lines and inviting shapes give this machine a very special character in every way. The components and features are placed to simplify its every function; just push a button to have everything adjusted to your taste. The Giro interface allows you to choose the amount and aroma of your favorite coffee, the drip tray height is adjustable and thanks to Rapid Steam®, you can create a creamy milk froth in just seconds. Made to last long and to offer the same standards with every cup of coffee, the Odea models make a statement in flavor as well as quality. With the Rapid Steam® technology available in the Odea Giro, it's just a matter of seconds between brewing your espresso and frothing milk. The long pannarello arm can froth milk in almost any sized container, and also dispenses hot water. For perfect-tasting coffee every time. The ceramic grinder is Saeco's most recent innovation, available in all new models of the Saeco range of automatic coffee machines. After careful research, Saeco finally chose this material to put an end to grinding with metal components. Ceramic is inert, and thus ensures the best results without altering the flavor of the coffee. Moreover, it is perfectly safe to use. The new ceramic grinder also provides a more consistent grind, allowing perfect dosing and blending, and giving you more control over the density and body of your coffee. And that's not all - the amount of coffee residue left in the cup is substantially reduced. Long-lasting, minimum noise! Thanks to its sturdy build, the ceramic coffee grinder will quietly grind to the same consistency and high standards for a longer period of time. The drip tray can be easily raised or lowered manually with a simple touch, allowing for different cup sizes. Espresso cups or glasses can easily be accommodated.
